Tag Archives: Golden Tickets

The Durham Media Center’s annual Golden Ticket Giveaway happened Friday, April 22nd, and 50 lucky students began their day by finding Golden Tickets in their lockers. Golden Tickets were traded for brand new paperback books the media center had purchased with Scholastic dollars earned from its previous Scholastic Book Fairs. This is one of the most exciting media center events of the year because students are randomly chosen, and a little extra happy is brought to their day. That’s what books–and media centers–are designed for. Happy reading Durham!

April is School Library Month, and the Durham Media Center has lots of fun in the works. One of the most exciting events of the year is celebrated in April: The Golden Ticket Giveaway. The morning of April 22nd, which falls on a Friday this year, 50 lucky students will find Golden Tickets in their lockers. Those Golden Tickets can be exchanged in the media center for brand new paperback books. Stay tuned for snapshots of the day as well as for other super fun celebrations in honor of School Library Month.

As a celebration of April’s School Library Month, the media center recently hosted a Golden Ticket Giveaway in the spirit of Roald Dahl’s classic novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Throughout the day Thursday, April 23rd, 50 lucky students found Golden Tickets in their lockers which they traded for new paperback books the media center had earned from its annual Scholastic Book Fair in March. Hopefully these treats brought smiles to the winners on the days directly after state testing.
